Age Discrimination
Employees in Iowa are protected from discrimination based on their age, as long as they are 18 years old or older.
Examples of age discrimination may include:
* Your employer fires you or forces you to retire because of your age
* Your employer hires and promotes younger employees or provides them benefits
not available to older workers
* An employer hires a younger job applicant even though you are more qualified
* Your boss repeatedly harasses you about when you plan to retire
* An employer refuses to hire you because they want someone “more mature”
